Slaves could be the most beloved girlfriend, the family’s accountant, the head masters of schools, the best chef in town, the most sought after doctor, the superstar gladiator. I decided for Halloween this year to go as christine Daae and wanted to recreate her iconic robe look. Christine Daae has a lot of chic dresses ; in the most famous productions, her costumes were designed by Maria Bjornson for the stage and Alexandra Byrne for the movies. I was able to get it altered, and Emily was so helpful in providing a partial refund to cover the alteration costs! It has several Rococo elements, including the bell silhouette, the Pierrot jacket/bodice closing over a stomacher, and the engageant sleeves and the little apron.

Here you can choose one of the costumes in the catalogs or offer your version of the dress by sending a few examples.And/or perhaps that is how I feel about playing Christine…my not-so-sassy/sensual faces in these pictures indicate that I wasn’t in character yet…).

Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The stage version and the movie version have some costumes that are very similar to each other, while others are quite different. This dress is made of the same blue stripy/floral silk all over the world (apart from some very few versions), and is maybe the most iconic female costume in POTO. When closed it still shows a bit of the collar of the Slavegirl costume underneath, but the gold wristbands and the tiara is removed.I love these looks because they evoke comedic Mozart operas, which is actually how I got my start—I was contacted by a NY agent after my (small) role of Barbarina in The Marriage of Figaro at Yale Opera my senior year of college. Her dress softly fades from pink to blue and has lots of star details, off-shoulder ruffle sleeves, a shorter hem, and a crown. Through the years the gowns worn by Christine Daae have been subject to many interpretations, leaving you to let your imagination drift as you create your own version of Christine Daae.
